DNA Electromagnetic Properties and Interactions

2017 
DNA is an essential molecule central to the survival and propagation of life, it was imperative to investigate possible electromagnetic properties inherent to it, such as the existence of any non-trivial interactions of this molecule with electromagnetic fields (beyond the usual dielectric response and damage by ionizing gamma radiations). Extensive investigations were carried out with both prokaryotic and eukaryotic purified DNA samples utilizing some of the most sensitive and precision instrumentation and methods available, while scanning the whole spectral region from 1Hz to 100KHz (in the low frequencies) and all the way to the high-frequency region of 100MHz (including investigations on the effects of 100MHz high-frequency fields as well as 2.4GHz microwave fields on the DNA). We were unable to detect any electromagnetism of any kind intrinsic to the DNA or its coupling to external noise sources, whether concentrated or diluted in water, as compared to control samples (H2O or empty chambers), neither existence of any possible spontaneous or stimulated/induced electromagnetic fields or waves emanated from both the eukaryotic and prokaryotic genetic material. Based on our measurements, we conclude that either there is no intrinsic electromagnetic activity or fields present in the DNA material, in both concentrated or diluted form, or any such activity is extremely weak in its intensity and beyond the measurement limits of current scientific methods.
